One Last Sha-bang

After we locked up our house for one last time we traveled 3 hours to my parent's place in Rexburg, Idaho. We stayed there for a week, we walked down to the BYU-Idaho campus where we went to school. It has changed so much! We kept saying, "we wish we had this when we were here!"




BYU-Idaho have some gorgeous gardens that the horticulture students plant and take care of. We took some of our engagement photos here (thanks to my roommate Andrea.)


We played with family, Anna even came to see us for the weekend.




It never ceases to amaze me that every time we gather with my family we have big expectations to do all these big things, but we have so much fun just sitting around talking and watching the kids play. That is what we do best. My niece Grace came over and played with the kids, and we laughed at their antics and fits.


We went to Jackson Hole, WY and Teton National Park, this was something that we always wanted to do while we were in school, but we never could afford it I guess. It is so beautiful.




happy camper Ian

String Lake, that water was so clear and fresh from the mountains, which as you can see still had snow on them.








Maddy taking a break, she wanted me to leave her alone there, she is a little sassy.

Oh, yeah! I 'member those pictures! Unrelated: I've been to Yellowstone lots of times, but I don't think I've ever just driven through Grand Teton National Park.

Dare Essay winner

Image
 (Early Spring 2022)  Ian was selected to read his essay at his DARE graduation! They called the top three essays for each class and Ian’s was picked to read for Mr Thompson’s class. They had to read their essay on the spot in front of the whole 5th grade and their parents! He was just getting over a sickness so his voice was a bit crackly but he did great! He got a big trophy too! I had a cough drop and bottled water in my purse in case he needed it, but he didn’t. Mr. Thompson pulled me aside and jokingly said that he has highly considering holding Ian back so he could be in his class again, he just thinks he is the coolest kid.  Ian has also loved Academic Team this year! He took 4th place in the science assessment category and was able to compete at regionals.                                                      His best buddies Keaton...

Grandpa & Grandma Young Visit

Image
Grandma & Grandpa Young drove all the way from Idaho to visit us!  It took them 2 1/2 days because they stopped at Mt. Rushmore, but they got here around 1:00 pm and we were all so excited and when Rylan got off the bus, they were there waiting for him! With G & G Young comes the I-pad which is a good way for Grandmas and Grandpas to get to actually hold their grandkids all they want.   Ian learned quite a bit from the I-pad just from their time here.   Ian has learned to say, "cheese" whenever someone points a camera at him  I am sorry to say that we didn't do that much, and when I asked them what they wanted to do they said that just wanted to watch me be a mom and play with the kids. They even babysat while Scott and I went to a dance, and when Scott was out of town I went to play with friends one Friday.  I felt guilty leaving but they insisted on letting me have a night out away from kids.  We did hav...

Rylan and the Beginning of Mission Prep

(Early Spring 2022) Rylan was able to have one last percussion season. He got to play the timpani, which he LOVED!  They got first place many times in their competitions!                                                                                         Rylan asked Kyann to prom with a little help from his mom and her Cricut!                                                                           She said yes! Scott asked the priests in our ward especially those who had achieved an Eagle rank in scouts to teach first aid to the activity day boys. Each boy was assigned a to...
